PR5 — Solanum lycopersicum

Summary

SlPR5 (SOLYC04G007310.2) encodes a protein of the osmotin/thaumatin-like superfamily with glucan endo-1,3-beta-D-glucosidase activity, and is associated with IgE binding, mRNA binding, and protein binding. The gene is linked to the apoplast, plant-type cell wall, secretory vesicle, and vacuole. It is associated with regulation of proline anabolism, anthocyanin anabolism, lycopene anabolism, chlorophyll anabolism, auxin anabolism, ethylene anabolism, and salicylic acid anabolism, as well as photoperiodism, fermentation, response to cadmium, and killing of cells of other organism. Associations with agronomic traits include fruit shape, sugar content, seed size, and stomatal opening. The gene is linked to disease resistance, including resistance to Verticillium dahliae and Pseudomonas syringae, as well as salt tolerance, drought tolerance, osmotic stress response, and insect resistance. Studies of related genes in other species connect the family to pathogen resistance, herbivore defense, and seed germination under salt stress.
